Editorial policy

Independence

Every meal reviewed on Repeat Reviews is paid for. We don't accept free food, paid placements, or payment for reviews, and restaurants can't pay to change or remove a review. The site is supported by display advertising; advertisers have no influence over what we review or what we say.

Every visit is documented

Each restaurant visit on this site corresponds to a dated receipt. Photos come from Matt Yang's own camera roll and are matched to visits by date and location. Recipe reviews link to the exact online recipe that was followed.

How AI is used

We use AI tools to read receipts, organize photos, and write a first draft of each review from that data and from Matt Yang's notes. Matt Yang reads and edits every draft, sets or confirms every rating, and approves each review before it is published. AI is never used to invent visits, dishes, or opinions.

Ratings and consistency

Each visit gets a 1–5 rating. A restaurant's consistency score is 5 minus the statistical variance of its visit ratings, shown once there are at least two reviewed visits. Steady places score close to 5; places that swing between great and disappointing score lower.

Corrections

If something is wrong (a closed restaurant, a wrong address, a factual error), email repeatreviewsite@gmail.comand we'll fix it.
